          It's only aesthetic interest.

                hi all,

                1. just quick question about fig.1. is it possible to make something like as shown in the picture by SU? Or, do you have any idea how the picture was made? I stole is from http://world-of-wood.blogspot.cz/.
                  [attachment=1:1cxuet5e]<!-- ia1 -->fig. 1.jpg<!-- ia1 -->[/attachment:1cxuet5e]

                I've thought about ways to make similar illustrations. I have made some line styles that are close to what you see in that image although they aren't exact replicas. The "texture" lines are another matter. I expect they are "hand drawn" in something like Illustrator. I've played with a couple of options but haven't really been very pleased with the results. They involve post processing and the use of a tablet. I've played with FotoSketcher as a tool to modify textures but haven't found the look I'm after, yet.

                I've also been looking at ways to create a style similar to this image. I'm not sure how successful it'll be though. I think there's something about the hand work that can't be replicated by a computer.

                  thank you pilou for your recommendation πŸ‘ , but I think this is not my league (too much for me - so far).

                  hi dave,
                  thank you for your reflection πŸ‘ .
                  i think that they have any templates and then they put them together (in some software). i couldn't believe it is handdrawn - each different picture - same style, i could say almost the same style.
                  any other observation welcomed.

                    I understand your skepticism about the hand work but you should take a look at Fine Woodworking Magazine and WoodenBoat Magazine. Both use a large quantity of hand drawn art that is much more involved than the illustration you posted.

                    I have done a few illustrations for Fine Woodworking Magazine. The models were created in SketchUp, I made a sketchy line style and applied hand drawn wood grain materials. You can see a couple of examples in the Case Study that SketchUp did on their blog. Those images are very close to what their artists are doing by hand.

                      I have seen them before (long time ago) and i admired them (at least one of them).
                      very nice illustration πŸ‘ .
                      ok, I have to admit, there is high possibility that the pictures are illustrated, but anyway, i think he uses some templates (arrows, text(font), basic shapes, hatches....).
                      thx for inspiration πŸ‘

                        Oh, I agree, the text and arrows are not drawn by hand. That sort of thing can be done in LayOut easily enough.
